Description

A fun, varied route up a cool feature, with a contrived finish.

Climb the right side of the ledgy face past three bolts. Jam the splitter offwidth on the left side of the arete, using the tips crack here and there. Place your only small cam in the top of the tips crack, swing right on a jug rail, and mantel onto the ledge. Layback the sharp arete (resist the barndoor!) past two bolts to the top of the Rocketship.

Rap from two-bolt chain anchor.

Location

This route essentially climbs the arete of the rocketship-shaped pillar on the far right side of the Choss-a-theatre. It starts with bolts on the right side of a ledgy face (the bolts on the left side are for Blastoffwidth!).
